Aiden Reis, LMHC, ATR (he/him)
I am honored to support clients in living fuller lives and increasing self-acceptance alongside self-trust.
I created Diverge Counseling to address unmet needs in our community. As a trans and autistic person, I know firsthand the importance of feeling understood and how powerful it can be for one’s identity to be validated. I truly appreciate creating a space where authenticity is encouraged and fosters better self-understanding.
My philosophy is to meet you where you are and support you as you take bold steps toward where you want to be. While therapy can be daunting, it can also be a fun and creative process— figuring out together what is standing in your way and developing strategies that work for you and your unique circumstances.
I provide online only counseling at this time, and I am based in Western Massachusetts.
When I am not in a therapy session, I can be found researching about therapeutic topics, gardening, crafting, or spending time with my dog and two cats.
